This course provides a full description and demonstration of the heart as a three dimensional structure. Course starts with the description of the external and internal thoracic anatomy, with special emphasis on the surface anatomical landmarks of the heart and great vessels and the intra-thoracic anatomical relationships. Morphologic anatomical features of the cardiac chambers and heart valves are going to be discussed in details. Other aspects, like histological features of relevant cardiac and vascular structures and the embryologic development of the heart are going to be covered as well. This course consists of theoretical classroom-based lectures and laboratory practical sessions and is run in parallel with the cardiovascular physiology course, so that anatomical structures are link to their respective physiologic functions..
